Brief Answer:
Underweight
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Your BMI is 17.3 i.e.Underweight BMI.
Since you have not gained weight in spite of healthy diet,you have to exclude subclinical hyperthyroidism.
Go for serum Free T3,Free T4, & TSH measurements and let me know the results.
Also let me know your vital parameters like pulse and BP ,as Addison's disease or adrenocortical insufficiency will cause low body weight in spite of adequate diet.
Please upload investigation results,you have undergone ,if any so far.
Regards
